SWEETWATER’S ESSENTIAL GUIDES Dangerous Music D-Box Monitor management — To control your monitor system, you’ll probably want some type of hardware. While software DAWs and audio programs can change volume levels, using them to control monitors is often not ideal. A small mixer, an audio interface with monitor control capabilities built in, or a dedicated monitor control box will provide the functions that are needed: input selection; monitor selection; calibration; and, of course, volume control! Most types of monitor control hardware also provide headphone amps and level control and may have other functions, such as soloing and muting individual speakers, converting a stereo mix to mono for phase checks, talkback to musicians, and more. Positioning — Carefully placing your monitors in your room will go a long way toward ensuring accurate response. Try to keep as much distance as possible between your monitors and room boundaries (walls, ceiling, corners, and other surfaces), to cut down on refl ections — at least two or three feet away; farther is ideal. Aim the speakers so that they “fi re” down the longest dimension of the room. Many studio designers recommend situating the listening position so that it is about 38% of the way back in the room. The left and right speakers should be placed so that they form an equalsided triangle with the listener’s head. Height-wise, place them so that the tweeters are at or slightly above the listener’s ears. Try to make the listening environment as symmetrical as possible, in order to maximize imaging accuracy. Decoupling/stands — For the most accurate low-frequency response and imaging, decouple your speakers from whatever they are sitting on. Several manufactur- ers make foam pads or Auralex other “bases” on which to MoPAD set monitors to eliminate the transfer of energy from the speaker to the stands or other surfaces. Speaking of stands, a good od set of nonresonant stands is usually a better base for your monitors than a desk or other surface that might resonate e or refl ect sound. Room treatment — Many experts feel that the most important element in a studio monitoring system is the room om itself. There are two aspects to controlling sound in a room: bass resonances (or room modes) and refl ections (uppermidrange and high frequencies). Various types of bass traps are used to absorb low-frequency resonances and to even out the bass response of the room. Virtually every room needs low-end control to one extent or another. High frequencies, on the other hand, can be addressed either with absorbers at refl ection points (such as foam or fi berglass panels) or with diffusors, which break up large refl ections and scatter the resulting smaller refl ections in different directions. Sony MDR-7506 AKG K 240 MK II DSP — Some active monitors feature built-in DSP (digital signal processing) that is designed to compensate for acoustical problems in a room. DSP can never replace a well-treated room, but when used in conjunction with acoustic treatment, it can result in an amazingly well-tuned monitoring system. Certain plug-ins and standalone software can also help you to tune various aspects of your room’s response. Headphones — A good set of headphones can provide a great reference for “detail” listening. Most experts don’t recommend mixing solely on headphones (though it is possible with a lot of practice). But, headphones may reveal things to you that speakers may not — distortion, level imbalances, and more. JBL LSR4328P

The LSR4328s make the most of your “less-than-perfect” room. They’ll take care of those pesky low frequencies and allow you to hear your mixes accurately. There’s no substitute for acoustically treating your room, but these monitors go the extra mile to make sure you get a mix you can count on.” — Joe Gilder, Sales Engineer, Ext. 1300 Are your mixes not translating JBL can fix that! Using JBL’s RMC Room Mode Correction system, each speaker automatically analyzes and compensates for problems caused by low-frequency standing waves and proximity to boundaries. The process is remarkably simple: just plug the LSR4300 calibration microphone (included with the LSR4328P Pak’s accessory kit) into the speaker and push a button — the LSR4300 meter display provides a reference of the output from each speaker in the system. It results in a calibrated listening environment where the monitors truly work in harmony with the room. This creates a stunningly clear and articulate sound stage, providing reliable mixes that translate faithfully to the outside world. The LSR4328P bi-amplified system with an 8" woofer and a 1" dome tweeter. LSR4328P monitors can be configured with up to eight main speakers and two subwoofers. Since a small studio may lack the space to position surround channels at the optimal physical distance from the mix position, the system is automatically calibrated so that the sound arriving at the mix position from all speakers is balanced, producing a precise image, regardless of each speaker’s actual physical placement. The LSR4300 monitor features stunning JBL sound, provides accurate mixes in any workspace, and is priced well within the reach of any project studio.
